- The current level of technology seems to be focused on clockworks. Those are the most popular of toys on the Isle, others are attempting to create household items to help with the mundane chores of everyday life. Timepieces in varying shapes and sizes, from the very small to the enormous have become common place. A large clock tower has even been erected at the School of Science in Pyria that chimes at the top of every hour.
- There has been a small amount of focus on steam and the possibilities of steam, though that is largely overlooked by many inventors. There are rumors of a potential heating system being invented using steam, though details of this are sketchy at best.
Inventions
- Beginning inventions mean they have not fully matured into prototypes or production. They are still in the works. Prototypes and early stages of production on Inventions Scientists typically tag 'Use at Your Own Risk!', although, you may have it blow up on you frequently, or it may work like a charm. Warning labels included. Bugs are always possible in anything, even inventions that have been around for years. But, those listed under the section of 'Complete and Mostly Debugged' is your safest bet when invention hunting.
